League rules state that any player with 16 technical fouls in a season must be suspended for one game without pay. Westbrook would then receive additional one-game suspensions for every two technical fouls he is accessed after his 16th.

Westbrook could also face a $5,000 fine, according to an ESPN report. But that's small change compared to the $245,891 in salary he will lose for the suspension.

The Thunder have lost their last two games and have a chance to get back on track against the Heat on Monday, without one key piece at their disposal.
